Per contract, band gets $7500 for the two shows plus $1250 for sound and lights. But the expost accounting has sound and lights at $1k and implies $8,500 for the talent. 11/5 preview calls room "Alden Hall".
Opener historically listed as Bonnie Raitt, but Minsky review says Fresh Flavor opened the early show.

listing: Worcester Telegram, November 15, 1974, p. 28 (billing only as "Jerry Garcia")
review: Minksy 1974; Garcia declined to give an interview, commenting that "he wasn't in it for the fame"
expost: Fine 1974, noting the concert lost more money for the school because Garcia insisted on playing smaller Alden Hall rather than larger Harrington Hall.
